That obviously puts you in the category of the type of person who know's everything about the club, i feel sorry for you.

I'll be honest, anything above the playing and coaching staff I haven't got a clue - prefer to generally have a life rather than memorise everyone's status and job specs on the Bolton board! I do know we're still a selling club and never back our managers with anything like the money other clubs in our supposed European contender position do. I know Big Sam managed to scrape us a European place last year on a shoe string budget, that was playing horrible football and since the turn of the year we've picked up just 17 points in the league! Hardly going to draw the crowds in. My point anyhow is that we need to back the team, whoever the financial guys are should sit down and think about the consequences of not backing the expectations of our star players. Diouf and Anelka leave, quick profit ?20m. Relegation and the possibility of not being promoted again straight away could total ?50m in no time at all, it'll only take a couple of wins and the club bringing in a medium to big named player and the players would all be happy to stay (or at least in my little fantasy world it would be the case).

Fortunately these are merely my initials, nothing to do with the law!

I'd be wanting the heads of the board to roll if both Diouf and Anelka are sold, if they do go can you see any sort of demonstration outside the Reebok? Personally I can't, however would like to see something like that happen to voice our opinion of how we can continually spend nothing on players and sell our prized assets! This is all pie in the sky currently, however seems likely that they both could move and I wanted to see other peoples opinions?

Big Sam was a legend, I can't believe some of you are being so critical over him.....this has been the most successful era in the clubs history and some of you are calling him 'Judas'? Pricks! Wake up will you....!! The man obviously has ambitions to win things, being honest he's not going to do that at Bolton. I wish him well where ever he may end up....hopefully not City though, let's face it - they are shit. On the positive side, we've been playing some pretty dull/boring football over these last 18 months. So I'm hoping a new manager will come in and shake things up - have us playing some exciting passing football, not Nicky Hunt 70 yard long balls to Davies! Everything points towards little Sam taking over, hopefully he'll have some fresh ideas to take us forward beyond the Big Sam era.

Would this work at the Reebok, I think possibly terracing the North Stand Lower tier could be an option? Safe Standing?

Frogs celebrate.........

Vas Te goal...........

The replay being on Valentines is very good news, means I don't need to make an effort with the 'FB' - don't want her getting the wrong impression! Can I honestly see cheaper ticket prices? Possibly! Will our 'supporters' turn out for a midweek fixture in the middle of winter, on valentines day, when it's already on the bbc? I seriously doubt it! Look at the UEFA Cup last year, on the biggest European night in Bolton's history how many turned up, just 19,288.

There's usually no smoke without fire........however I'd like to stress that the BBC have nothing at all on us, just a load of agents talking crap! I thought it was amazing how they continually didn't implicate any other clubs other than us! Why **** out every other team? Do you not think it's strange that the time the guy met big Sam he didn't wear his camera? Concerns over stadium security my arse! I'm interested to see the back pages tomorrow though, we'll be made to look very bad indeed!

I almost didn't renew my season ticket, the reason being..............I'm just not entertained anymore. I agree with our critics we play awful football, front to back looking for flick ons. Set pieces and generally lumping the ball into the box seem common place at the Reebok these days. The price of tickets isn't a problem as personally I think that ??450 is cheap, definitely compared to other 'top half' clubs! I do feel sorry for the average family as the match day experience can get very costly indeed. Just because we scored a 94th minute penalty to win a game doesn't send me away with great joy, I've come away quite bored as 93 minutes of the match were spent wishing I was watching Arsenal or Man U. Between the start of the season and Christmas we are appearing on Sky 7 times, 5 of these are home fixtures. So 5 out of the first 11 home games are live on TV, why buy a season ticket? At least when you're at home you can turn the absolute diarrhea we know as 'Premiership football' off! In my opinion then, we've got low season ticket sales and crowds because we're not entertaining anymore and because nearly half our games are televised anyhow? Has the bubble finally burst for Bolton? Only time will tell...............!!

Please don't make any more predictions, surely you put the kiss of death on him? Unless you're going to predict Nolan to be the worst player on the pitch and Bolton to lose every week?

I thought Watford were miles the better team today, they were really unlucky to walk away with nothing. It was definitely a penalty and well tucked away by Speed which in the end proved to be the difference between the 2 sides. I thought Jussi was quite pathetic giving the ESL stick after he continually wasted possession all afternoon, does he think that the fans who ultimately pay his wages (Buy season tickets, match day tickets, subscribe to sky sports, Pay Per View and buy the merchandise) don't have a right to express their opinions? He's a great keeper and remarkable servant to Bolton, just thought he was a bit childish today to say the least! I expected him to stamp his feet and then fall to the floor in tears like a 6 year old!

I called into Tesco en-route to the ground from Barnstormers, my pie was a whole 52p! Darryl 1 - 0 Bolton Wanderers catering!

The 1-0 against Spurs when 3 points were so vital in our relegation fight, purely for the way we attacked them for so long without any joy then got the much deserved penalty. I also think this was the best atmosphere at the Reebok with the much loved "We are the one and only Wanderers chant going for the entire 2nd half"...............think we repeated the same sort of Atmosphere against Blackburn early the next season, only for the Dingles to grab a 96th minute equaliser - seem to think it's still the latest goal in Premiership history! Nice reading through everyone's positive memories, brought a big smile to my face!

Well out of order I agree. I thought it was a cracking shot though - Thatcher nailed him big time, must have dislocated his jaw with that one!

I think pride in your town / local team is far more important than national pride, would you be happier if England won the world cup or Bolton won the FA Cup / Premiership? I know how proud I'd be if Bolton won anything in my lifetime........for now I can only live, hope and dream!

If we did play 4-4-2 and Anelka was the mystery 20 goal striker, who would be in the starting 11 (if all players were fit)? Mine is as follows: Jussi O'brien Tallyban Meite Ricardo Stelios Campo Nobby Dioufy Davies Le Sulk

I was hardly full of optimism ahead of yesterdays game, thought we'd be in for a tough time. It's amazing how 90 mins of football can make you believe once again, had the WC hampered my judgement? Who knows?! Anyhow I believe that we've proved that we have a great starting 11 players and team spirit, top half and hopefully with a class striker on board a European place is on the cards. I would also like to see a creative midfielder and another defender, one that covers right back as well as centre back before the transfer deadline! P.S I wonder how many people now decide to turn out against Watford who ducked yesterday?

Nugent??? Am I missing something? Maybe I'm just having a blonde moment........

Ahhh sorry thought no-one had posted for over an hour, why is the time showing up incorrectly? I'm not dreaming, it is 22:27 and not 21:27?

I take it we lost?

i) Is there any point in splashing the cash? Doubt it ii) Will tonight's game have a live commentary? Not Sure iii) Given I can't do home games is the commentary on there any good? Can't be any worse than Tower FM......or can it? iv) Do any of the local radio stations that do commentary broadcast on the web so I can save my hard earned? Yes.....Tower FM (http://www.towerfm.co.uk)

Quality video, especially because I'm in it! I'm in the brown and pink t-shirt at the start trying to take a picture by the looks of things!! Best away trip ever!

Is anyone else getting annoyed the Harry 'Churchill Dog Head' Redknapp is bidding for every player we look at, kind of pissing me off! Especially now that Pompey are bankrolled, we can't compete! Or can we..........?
